Tbh, I'll just get a JXD if I want something that's both competent and affordable. There's that new S7800b coming out. Might need to stick a custom ROM on it, but after that they're generally pretty good. Reply-1

Where's Mario Kart 8? :( Mario Kart 8 is a huuuuge IP in the UK.They *really* dropped the ball on that one. They could've at least had some kind of preview build. I mean.. weren't people playing a demo of it at E3 all the way back in June? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GZGLygvDAQ

What was such a drastic change/setback that they weren't able to bring a demo to one of the franchises biggest markets?

I certainly won't deny the reviewer has a right to an opinion, and I think it's great that they can find something they really enjoy out of this game. But it does make me question what the reviewer expects from a game of this genre. Reply+1

@A_FAN Check out the link I posted above. There's a side by side comparison of two cartridges over the period of 1 month. One that's been blown on, and the other that was left alone. They look nothing alike. Reply0

Blowing on a cartridge actually erodes the cartridge-connector over time, and doesn't help when trying to boot up a game. Just the act of taking it out and re-inserting the game is what actually made it work. Reply0

Just to note. Open Broadcaster Software is a more appealing open-source alternative, that can either live-stream or output to video-file, and it's free. It's infinitely better than using FRAPS (which you'd have to pay for). Reply-1

I feel literally no need to go above 1080p when a) the monitors I have for it are perfectly sized, and b) I want to at least try and maintain 45-60FPS with relatively new PC games. As you can tell from those 2.5k benchmarks, it would be very unpredictable on a per game basis, even with the best of current GPUs. Reply+10

@neilka I wouldn't put it past Nintendo just making an app where you purchase content and receive a redemption code that you then have to use on your systems eshop. Therefore bypassing the need for them to make an account system, and they'll insist that it's giving the people what they asked for. It would be shockingly awful, but at this point, I expect it.

Saw this at Rezzed. Spent about 15 minutes trying to convince myself it was different to the original, but couldn't, then was equally confused as to why it was there xD Oh well, it's a cool game. Hope it does well on the second outing. Reply+2

Why is this being spun as them bringing the start button back, when that's not the case? It's just a button that brings you to the same interface as it was before.. Are they really that patronising that they forgot we all had a dedicated button on our keyboards with a Windows start logo on it.. They thought they knew what we wanted and just assumed we didn't "get it". They make that even clearer with the whole desktop background porting over to the metro UI. Just so we don't feel confused! We did get it, we just thought it was a shit idea. Reply+3
